KAH 343G isn't the only egg-shaped license plate in the game (nor does it only appear on the police car at the start of the game). Exploring Mombasa Streets this morning I counted up 28 distinct license plate numbers. Here's an alphabetical list of my findings and my theories as to their references:

I'm almost certain of about half of the explanations. Half of the remaining half I'm fairly confident in, and the final quarter I couldn't come up with any fitting explanation for (except KLB 128Y, which I was CONVINCED references Yasmine from I Love Bees, but I chose not to include it on the list because her number isn't known). Perhaps someone with more knowledge of Bungie can come up with explanations for those that I couldn't get. Conspicuously, a majority of the numbers refer to Spartans and seemingly allude to their positions in the Battle of Reach. At the same time, there are a LOT of KN_'s, which I connected with the "Noble-One" and "Sierra-259" references in the Halo Reach trailer.

I'm thinking Bungie might be giving us the tiniest of previews of what's to come.

2 Additional Notes: KN0 220K appears to be K-N-zero, but my explanation interprets it as K-N-Oh. I suspect there is a better explanation for it. The numbers for some of the spartans aren't known (specifically Sheila, Randall, and James), but the numbers given aren't used by any other spartans so I'm speculating as to their owners.
